Some of the subjects covered: Roles of the Lender/Mortgage Broker Credit Pre-Approval Roles of the Real Estate Agent Searching for Properties Contracts Negotiation Closing Here are some questions that were asked during a home buyers seminar last month: How much can I afford? Can I get a loan to cover rehab costs? When should we talk to a lender? What are lender fees? What’s the norm? What are points? Is the downpayment different from closing costs? Why do people get into ARM's vs. Fixed loans (good question especially right now)? What can I do to get my credit score higher? Can we still get a home if one of us has great credit and the other has not so great credit? Where do I start in the negotiation process? Does earnest money show the seller how serious the buyer is?   Class Location:... 12/09/2008

I think we have all come to terms with the status of the real estate market. Like it or not, things could not continue in the direction they were going and now we have to work through the adjustment period. The Bloomingdale market still continues to have people moving in and out. Things have not come to a halt, just a snail's pace for now. When looking to make a move, it is important to hire a real estate agent that knows the market in your area. Your agent must have an aggressive marketing plan and an extensive online presence.

Septemberfest is a unique event as it honors Bloomingdale's past, present and future. The best demonstration of our commitment to the future is the Bloomingdale Scholarship Competition. Started in 1987 with a single award of $400.00 to a young Bloomingdale resident, the program has grown to six and eight scholarships per year. It is open to both young men and women between the ages of 16 and 20 who are residents of incorporated Bloomingdale. This is a way for you, as a business, to show that these young adults are important and deserve support. Donations to the Joe Draghi Scholarship Fund would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for considering this request. The Septemberfest Committee plans and organizes the autumn Septemberfest one-day event held in the Village's historic Old Town are... 08/30/2008
